A clever video production by the folks at New Era Colorado follows six Denver mayoral candidates to their homes in an MTV[1]-style “Candidate Cribs[2]: Denver Mayor[3]’s Edition.”

Here is what we learn from the YouTube video: Theresa Spahn likes Miller Beer, Doug Linkhart collects rocks, do not play Carol Boigon in checkers, Michael Hancock is extremely proud of his fridge, James Mejia has a VCR and Chris Romer has Kennedy hair.

The website says that it is a nonprofit organization “committed to engaging, educating, and training a new generation of active citizens and young leaders in Colorado.”

Steve Fenberg, executive director, said the mission is to get more young people involved in the democratic process. The organization has registered about 25,000 young voters and is encouraging younger people to pay attention to this spring’s municipal election.

That is tough, Fenberg said, because younger people have typically not been active voters in off-year municipal elections. This year may be tougher because it is an all-mail ballot, which favors homeowners who tend to be older, he said.

The funny YouTube video is meant to expose the younger voters to the candidates. On April 6, the organization will have a forum with six of the top candidates in a “Survivor”-style format, starting at 6:30 pm.. at Casselman’s Bar & Venue, 2620 Walnut St.

People in the audience will get to vote on which candidate they think answered the questions the best by texting their responses, Fenberg said.
